Template:TissueDB Tissue Materials Table

Template documentationedit documentation

Overview

{{TissueDB Tissue Materials Table}} renders the Materials table for TissueDB Tissues pages. This table lists which materials can simulate this tissue, with fidelity assessments and simulator cross-references.

The canonical section heading is Materials (not "Materials Quick-Pick" per DM-35).

This template is placed inside the Tissues skeleton template's materials parameter.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Source
rows	HTML	Yes	One or more `<tr>` rows. Each row must contain cells matching column order: Material, Visual, Tactile, Simulator, Notes. Material cells must link to `TissueDB/Materials/` pages. Simulator cells must link to `TissueDB/Simulators/` pages.	SELF Developer Playbook (Jan 2026); DM-TABLE-01; DM-TABLE-02

Column Definitions

Column	Content	Valid Values
Material	Wiki link to `TissueDB/Materials/*`	Must be a valid wiki link
Visual	Visual fidelity assessment	Yes / Partial / No only (AP-0308-01)
Tactile	Tactile fidelity assessment	Yes / Partial / No only (AP-0308-01)
Simulator	Wiki link to `TissueDB/Simulators/*`	Must be a valid wiki link
Notes	Clinical use context, practical guidance	Free text. Source-traced. No fidelity domain language.

Content Rules

Visual and Tactile columns accept ONLY: Yes, Partial, No. No rating systems (AP-0308-01).
Column names must be spelled out — no abbreviations like "V-F" or "T-F" (DM-0131-03).
Section heading MUST be "Materials" — not "Materials Quick-Pick" (DM-35).
Every Material cell must link to a TissueDB/Materials/ page.
Every Simulator cell must link to a TissueDB/Simulators/ page.
Notes column must not contain fidelity domain language.

Pending Clarification

The Playbook MCP lists Tissues table columns as: Material, Visual, Tactile, Reusable, Cost, Best For (6 columns). However, TEMPLATE_ARCHITECTURE_CANON.md (Dr. Mohr notebook diagram) specifies: Material, Visual, Tactile, Simulator, Notes (5 columns) with Reusable and Cost explicitly prohibited per DM-TIS-01. This template follows the 5-column structure from the Canon document. The column question is tracked in TEMPLATE_ARCHITECTURE_CANON.md pending clarifications.

Renders the Materials table for TissueDB Tissues pages listing materials that simulate this tissue.
